That opinion aroused a lot of annoyance among her fans and readers, who called her TERF (Trans-Exclusive Radical Feminist) and pointed out her vision on this subject as transphobic and exclusive. To this, Daniel Radcliffe, who plays Harry Potter in the movies, responded with a letter in which he defends trans activism and, above all, clarifies that trans women are women. Other actresses in the series like Emma Watson have also spoken in support of trans women.
